CyberArk is building the cloud platform that secures machine identities at scale. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to lead performance and reliability engineering across distributed, microservices-based systems.
In this role, you will define how system behavior is measured, tested, and improved under real-world load — building the frameworks, tooling, and standards that enable teams to deliver scalable, production-ready services.
You will operate at the intersection of quality, production engineering, and distributed systems, driving performance engineering as a core capability across the platform.
What You’ll Do
• Define and drive performance and reliability engineering strategy across cloud-native, distributed systems
• Design and build frameworks, tooling, and infrastructure for performance testing and system analysis at scale
• Establish performance baselines, SLIs/SLOs, and measurable standards across services
• Partner with engineering teams to embed performance testing into CI/CD workflows and development lifecycles
• Analyze system behavior under load and identify bottlenecks across application, infrastructure, and data layers
• Use observability data to interpret latency distributions, throughput, and failure patterns, and translate findings into actionable improvements
• Build reusable performance tooling and test platforms adopted across multiple teams
• Influence system design by advocating for scalability, resilience, and production readiness early in development
• Drive adoption of performance and reliability practices across teams, acting as a technical leader and subject matter expert
• Mentor engineers and contribute to raising the bar for system-level thinking and engineering quality
